I removed the link you added to Cougar because it doesn't seem to be a truly relavant link to Cougar as a whole, since it was only about one small section of Iowa. If you disagree and feel that it should be relavant, please talk with me, or discuss it on the Cougar Talk Page

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome! -- Whereizben - Chat with me 16:57, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cougar

Hi James, I don't have more time right now to reply to you, but I did get your message and will get back to you over the next few days! I will continue this on my talk page, but you can add that to your watchlist by going to my Talk page and clicking the Watch tab at the top and then when you log in, you can always go to my watchlist to see when any page you are watching has recently been changed. -- Whereizben - Chat with me 23:08, 9 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

James, I did not catch the bogus 37 cougar reference myself, although I did notice it. One of the things that I, and many, many other Wikipedians will do is watch all of the recent changes, which is how I noticed your link. Then after I changed the Cougar page I went to see what other changes you had made (by using the link on the left under toolbox, labeled User contributions). I then noticed that you had added that line to [Eastern Cougar] which is what I believe you are referencing, and that another user had removed it, and eventually completely cleaned up that section. If he (or she!) had not done so, that would have been my next step. I am getting more and more experienced at this, but as things go, I have relatively few edits - Whereizben's Edit Counts - you can check this for anyone to see how many they have at http://tools.wikimedia.de/~interiot/cgi-bin/Tool1/wannabe_kate But so anyways, I am glad that you have some faith restored, and that I was able to be an example for you! -- Whereizben - Chat with me 14:20, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
